It's very concerning that your young rabbit is not eating or drinking and is showing signs of lethargy. Rabbits can deteriorate quickly without proper nutrition and hydration, especially at such a young age. The Critical Care Herbivore formula you have is a good choice for providing essential nutrients, but it seems like your rabbit's condition might need more immediate attention.

There are several potential reasons for your rabbit's behavior, including:

1. **Illness or Infection:** Rabbits can suffer from various illnesses that cause them to stop eating and drinking. This could include gastrointestinal stasis, dental problems, or infections.
2. **Stress or Environmental Changes:** Although you mentioned no recent lifestyle changes, any subtle changes in the environment or routine can stress a rabbit.
3. **Pain or Discomfort:** If your rabbit is in pain, it might refuse to eat or drink. This could be due to dental issues, injuries, or internal problems.

Given the severity of the symptoms and the fact that this has been ongoing for two days, I strongly recommend taking your rabbit to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Rabbits can become critically ill very quickly without proper care, and a vet will be able to diagnose the issue and provide the necessary treatment.

In the meantime, continue to offer the Critical Care formula and water via syringe to keep your rabbit as hydrated and nourished as possible. Monitor for any additional symptoms like changes in stool, breathing difficulties, or further lethargy.

If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
